Heart Check 101

Hi guys, as we hear Ps Khong share about "The Blood for the Heart", let's learn to guard our hearts and prevent ourselves from developing a hardened heart. Here are some symptoms of a hardened heart which I have observed in my journey as a leader over the years. Let's be watchful and vigilant because "our enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour" (1 Peter 5:8 NIV)

Symptoms of a Hardened Heart
  1. Critical Attitude - Skeptical and always critical instead of having a humble attitude in dialoging or seeking.
  2. Blaming God - Ungrateful for blessings from God, but constantly finding faults in life and blaming God for being unfair.
  3. Faithless - Disappointments and failures in journey of life caused one to developed that faithless despondent spirit.
  4. Pride - Thinking you-know-it all. Something to be watchful of especially for older Christians.
  5. Closed-Open Decision - Already made up decisions in heart and refuse to give in. Only come before leaders to make it seem religious or politically correct, but actually no intentions to be open for other options.
